Windows 7 won't let me increase the screen resolution.?
Bought a new computer today with an nvidia 9100, reusing my old monitor. The monitor has a 1920x1080 resolution, using a VGA cord. Everything worked fine on my xp machine, same cord and all. Windows 7 doesn't provide a higher resolution option for a generic monitor than 1600x1200. I also tried using the NVidia control panel to over ride it but it attempts to change then just leaves it at 1600x1200.
The driver is the most recent one from the nvidia website, when windows tries to "find an update" it "updates" to a year old driver which doesn't even work.
How do i change the resolution to 1920x1080? specifically please?
jason - If you were to read my question you would notice that i have the latest nvidia drivers for my graphics card and adapter,
kevin - i tried all those things and nothing seems to work however the monitor driver is several years old? any ideas where i could manually find an update for this since windows 7 doesn't seem to think one exists?.

right click computer
select properties
look at the right side and select device manager
click yes if asked
go down to monitors and use the > to reveal device
right click and select update driver software
use the top option ,,,,,search automatically .....
doing this may refresh the driver and allow you to change the res
if fails go back here and un-install the monitor
reboot and try again
you also can do a manual search
if you do select from a list
find your model and install that driver
hope 1 of the 3 options work for you

It has nothing to do with Windows 7 and everything to do with your video driver. Go to Nvidia's site and get a new driver.
